What is that third stone with the druzy pockets? Looks like a Fairburn? 
Sintered wheels for the hard will last you a long, long time. Forever soft wheels would be the bee's knees!

That is a Moroccan Seam,or labeled as such...the seam of agate was thin...so incorporated the matrix...which i hardly ever(never) do it held up nice |

Nice set. I've changed my approach to do most of the work with the 80 grit so I go through a lot of 80 grits. I replace them early. There are two problems with Montana; finding great material and they need to be without scratches going on to the next grit. I have a hard time seeing the scratches. MHPJ is very user friendly.

You always seem to take it to the next level. Don't know where you can possibly go from here??? But I will stay tuned!

Worn wheels really slow you down. I use the 80 a lot, so I got the sintered 60 grit. One of the best things I did.
This is yet another beautiful group of cabs. Can't pick a fav.

Is the wheel a lot heavier Than a normal wheel? |

Beautiful batch! The Montana is fantastic, but I really love how the color pops against the matrix on that seam agate.

fencejumper aren't Montanas amazing! One of my favorites and I don't work it nearly enough. Maybe I need to dig out a chunk 👍 I can't comment on the rest, my fingers are all sloppy from the drool on my keyboard 😆
